Pre-Game Talk: Game 3: Help us Obi Price, you are all we got

[Ursus the White]

Trust this works.....trying out a few new pieces of software..this is video only...as adding audio would make it much larger than I could probably get away with, short of creating a Youtube account, but we are not going there just yet......

DD out? Galchenyuk at centre? Eller as #1 centre with Patches?

So many questions. How will the team respond - this could be a defining game for not only the series but the entire team's vibe heading into next season.

 

[habdynasty]

May the 4th be with you ..... Just had too

 

[Habsawce]

Price will probably come out and win game 3 almost on his own. Then, who knows what happens in game 4 since the team will have to win that one, and not just one player.

 

[Ursus the White]

May the 4th be with you ..... Just had too

And also with your lightsabre

Carey is strong with the Price, so it would not surprise me that he could do it all.

And no R2DD......maybe just maybe

Therrien saying DD could play in Tampa - per TheScore app

wooohooooo, YES !

 

[Defend The Price]

I don't how Price can steal us a game. If no one scores and we don't take advantage of our powerplay, then we will lose at some point. Taking stupid penalties don't help either.

wooohooooo, YES !

Our saviour!

 

[HeShootsHeScores]

Let the miracle begin

No honestly they're done. Tampa is just that damn good.

Go habs Go anyway! You never know.

 

[JAVO16]

R2DD Excellent

 

[Phenom]

Well it sure looks like it's the world against us.

Big obstacle to overcome but surely possible. Let's just get the next win and go from there.

Jesus Price will need to make miracles happen and Subban/Markov/Pacioretty/Plekanec/Galchenyuk/Eller will need to perform to their capabilities and restore the little ounce of faith that's left and that's hanging by a cliff with a scotch tape.

And Therrien will need to stop being Therrien.

 

[No More Subban]

Take out the brooooooms!

 

[Treb]

Play this as the title appears:

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Our only hope is game two made Tampa overconfident, not too dissimilar to how we were against Ottawa. We absolutely cannot take stupid penalties. (Looking at you, Prust.)

Oh, AND SCORE DAMN GOALS GDI

 

[Analyzer*]

Therrien saying DD could play in Tampa - per TheScore app

wooohooooo, YES !

Apparently he isn't making the trip to Tampa.

Since Hammond stop being in goal, the habs have scored 2 goals, or less.

Way to address the needs, Bergevin.

What bothered me the most about these first two games is that it's a repeat of 2013 where the guys weren't focused and were all over the place emotionally. They lost their composure. I thought that it was what we were going to do to THEM. I thought we were going to hit them a lot, hit them hard, bother them after whistles, that Prust would play a big role in this. But instead, they got into our heads and we lost our composure. It's disappointing.

The only good news out of all of this is that if we win the next one, then we're going to play again the next day and the bolts might still be reeling from that loss without much time to prepare. If we lose.. then we're done so ... whatever. But yeah, seeing how the guys were completely off their game after the 1-1 goal... it doesn't bode well for the rest of the playoffs. Felt like they gave up after Subban's penalty... And our weak forward group is a huge issue.

****** PP still doesn't bother you?
We don't need it ?

 

[Brainiac]

As bad as this team has been in 4 of the last 5 games, if they win game #3 in Tampa, they're clearly not done. There is still hope!

 

[Braun]

A loss I fear. Win this series we will not.








Go habs go!

We had 3 PP last game. If we had been 100% on the PP, we would have lost the game 6-5.

PK is a much bigger issue than the PP.
Lack of 5v5 scoring is a much bigger issue than the PP.

Why are you following me around making dumb replies to my posts about stuff I have said in other threads with barely the most tenuous of link ? It's obnoxious.

I'm not following you around don't flatter yourself.
The PP is a direct indicator of how well a team executes basics.
The coach who you continually defend is responsible.
Why do we have an NHL team who can't execute odd man situations.
Not only powerplays but all odd man situations.

Scoring on the PP would have had us up 2-0 and maybe a different outcome.
The team folded like a wet tent in a wind storm The very second their PP scored.
So i can't credit anything you say after your DUMB take on the powerplay.

 

[blarneylad]

They are only down two games boys and girls.

The fickleness on here is insane. They go up 3-0 on the Sens and everybody is happy with the brooms out (myself included) they lose two and it blows up.

The atmosphere was shaky going into this series, but c'mon, as fans can we not support them until the dying minute?

It isn't over until the fat lady sings GO HABS GO

 

[HabsDieHard*]

Habs also had 2 early 2nd period power plays they could have taken the lead off of.

Instead they managed no offensvie pressure of any kind, and were on their heels all period long.

The interesting thing is how the people who defend Therrien so quickly use his tactic of placing the blame on anyone else for any shortcomings.

 

[Habssince89]

all we need to do is scrape out one win and we're back in. We could've lost 11-0 last game and it only counts for one L.

Yeah, and fortunately all those PP goals we allowed aren't counted on the players +/-. We can still brag about being a good defensive team. We can't score though but don't say it too loud
